BLACK HISTORY MONTH Today many Africans trek to Europe and other places to study and work, but the reverse was true in the past when other nationals braced the peril of the seas and deserts to come to study in Africa. These included European intellectual and cultural icons who sat at the feet of African masters and went back to their native lands to spread the light they had seen from the so-called "dark continent". They came to learn the rudiments of science, mathematics, philosophy and all. But don't expect to find this in orthodox history books. Barima Adu-Asamoa takes us through the records. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] It is interesting to note that the ancient Greeks knew much more about the cultural and racial identity of Ancient Egyptians than modern European historians, long before the coming of the Romans, Turks and Arabs. The primary aim of these modern Eurocentric scholars (modern Arab historians included) is to completely expunge black Africans from the "map of human geography" and world history. The ideological position has been, and still is, that nothing came out of Africa but powerless, defenceless, uncivilised, barbaric and primitive peoples and ideas. If so, why did the great Greek philosophers cross the seas and deserts to study in Africa? Aristotle, one of the greatest of Greek philosophers, wrote in Physiognomonica that "the Ethiopians and Egyptians are very black". Herodotus (also a Greek historian) adds that the ancient Egyptians had "black skin and wooly hair". Why then is ancient Egyptian racial identity critical to Africa's self appraisal? The logic, according to European hegemony, runs like this: To ascribe one of the world's greatest civilisations-Ancient Egypt-to Africans, undermines the notion of racial superiority necessary for the "Maafa" (European and Arab slave trade in Africa), and its attendant economic, spiritual and psychological onslaught. But Ancient Egypt is prior to Greece as Greece is prior to Rome, and Greece is credited with spreading civilisation in Europe. In his book, The Significance of African History, the African-Caribbean writer, Richard B. Moore, rightly points our that: "The significance of African history is shown ... in the very effort to deny anything of the name of history to Africa and the African peoples. For it is logical and apparent that no such undertaking [falsifying African history] would ever have been carried out, and at such length, in order to obscure and bury what is actually of little or no significance." There is sufficient evidence that the distortion of African history was deliberately planned and executed, and this has reaped dividends for the perpetrators. But to the African, this has led to a lack of self-confidence and a can-do-attitude; hence the restoration of African history must be a critical component of an African renaissance. The African Union should, therefore, create a restoration programme of African history and give it all the necessary importance. This would imply that the government of modern Egypt acknowledges the original creators of Ancient Egyptian civilisation and gives them their due place. It should stop being party to the denial which has gone on for so long. Ancient Egypt was, and still is, the cultural legacy of black Africans, not Arabs who were the last invaders of North Africa. Indeed when the Muslim General Amr ibn al-As and his army of some 4,000 Arabs, ordered by Caliph Umar to invade Egypt (December 639AD), was asked what to do with the sacred African books found in the libraries of Alexandria and other cities, his reply has stood the test of time: "If its not in the Koran, its not worthy; if its in the Koran, it is superfluous; burn it." This statement would have shamed the followers of Bilal, the African companion of Prophet Mohammed. This implies that Africa has the moral duty to re- aculturalise all "foreign" cultural elements for its own self- preservation. https://www.questia.com/magazine/1G1-187012521/greek-philosophers-who-came-to-africa-to-study |

An accountability and advocacy group, the Citizens Quest for Truth Initiative, has dismissed the National Assembly’s probe of the activities of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) as a mere ruse that cannot midwife the desired transformation in the Commission. It insisted that the outcome of the “much touted” NASS probe is premediated, adding that no meaningful probe can be carried out by same persons who have been directly or remotely involved in the plundering of the interventionist agency. The group which participated and made presentations at the Public hearing at the both Chambers, expressed dissatisfaction at the exercise, adding that the Committee was merely pretending to be objective and fighting for the “beleaguered Niger Delta people”. They argued that blaming the five-month old Interim Management Committee for the over two decades financial malfeasance in the Commission, amounts to getting a scapegoat to take the blame, while the perpetrators go scot free. According to a statement signed by its President and Publicity Secretary, Chief Obiaruko Christie Ndukwe and Francis Ndimkoha, respectively, the group stressed that, “it is funny how the cabal that has held down the NDDC for two decades are now the same set of people posturing with a holier than thou disposition and suffocating the media space with tales of how the five months old Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the NDDC suddenly became the reason the Commission failed to achieve its core mandate, in the past 20 years”. It added that, “the bias of the National Assembly was so obvious, they couldn’t successfully hide it, in as much as they pretending and still pretend to be objective and fighting for the beleaguered Niger Delta people”. The statement also noted that “the National Assembly, sequel to a motion, simultaneously deliberated upon, in the Senate and the House of Representatives, on 5th of May, 2020, proceeded to hold a Public hearing on the “Need to Investigate the Alleged Financial Malfeasance and other Activities in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). “This move, ordinarily, should get due applause from the Niger Delta people and Nigerians at large, but alas, it has been greeted with mixed feelings due to the allegations of culpability in the sleaze, also leveled against the Lawmakers by the present Management of the NDDC and it’s supervising Minister. “A cross section of Nigerians, particularly outside the Niger Delta, have hailed this move, because it adorns a garb of a good intent to serve the people. Many others, mostly, leaders cum stakeholders in the Niger Delta region, have seen through the exercise and to them, it looks, every inch, a charade, or better still, a perfect smokescreen to shield the real culprits from being unveiled, considering that the main bulk of the contracts were awarded to those who should oversight the Commission for over 19 years”. |

This absolutely true. Keep it up sir |
Wow Akwa Ibom Ayaya really proud of my state. Meanwhile government does not built companies or industries, rather they create a condusive environment for business to thrive and that's what Udom is doing. When the seaport commence operation next year and international oil companies relocate to the 21 intelligent building on december, and the coconut plantation/refinery start operation on december, and the Victor Attah new airport terminal which is completely ICT commence operation next year which will place Akwa Ibom on world map with huge Internally Generating Revenue. Then can't imagine how Akwa Ibom will look like. Akwa Ibom will be competing with some west african cities let alone lagos in terms of GDP and IGR.!! |
IJEYdiamond:Lol people will always complain. Assuming he didn't any road you would have still complain that he doesn't do any single road. Meanwhile udom is building 12 lane currently in uyo. |

mystery22:Well let's wait till 2021. That's when we will know whether we will import or not. Anything being said now is just a mere fabrication and wishful thinking. |
mystery22:That's a baseless assertion. Do you have a tangible evidence that we won't import cars from other seaports other than wishful thinking? |
mystery22:I can't believe you're this ignorant and uninformed. Ibom Deep Seaport and Lekki Deep Seaport wil commence full operation on 2021. This for your enlightenment dude.! https://thenationonlineng.net/ibom-lekki-deep-seaports-to-generate-180000-jobs/ |
